Standing up, falling down

Standing Up, Falling Down Review: A Tale Of Two Woes

“Standing Up, Falling Down” is a movie I decided to watch because I wanted to watch a movie that would teach me something new bout human frailties and relationships. Once I read the premise, I jumped on it. The film was directed by Matt Ratner and produced by a team led by Chris Mangano. These ...

All The Bright Places Review: When Romance Meets Tragedy

Romance is a genre of movie that is easy to get wrong. And it is not hard to tell why they get this wrong. They try to make romance about romance. War films are never about war alone; there is conflict. Crime, horror, comedy, all rely on something to run. But somehow, makers of romantic ...

Oscar 2020: The Full List Of Winners

2020 Academy of Motion Picture Arts awards night was made in Korea. Prior to the show, with eleven nominations, it looked like it would be a night made for the “Joker” in the mix. Predictably, “Joker” actor Joaquin Phoenix won the Lead Actor award, the night belonged to Bong Joon Ho the Korean director and ...

A fall from Grace

A Fall From Grace: A Nice Movie Served In Dirty Dish

Watching Tyler Perry’s “A Fall From Grace” reminded me of a South African play I read in High School. The play, “Sizwe Banzi Is Dead” is a one-man play. There are a couple of characters in the play and they are all played by one man. The film “A Fall From Grace” was written, produced, ...

Amazing Winter Romance

Amazing Winter Romance: Another Predictable Piece From Hallmark

My last Hallmark movie didn’t blow my mind away. My decision to watch this one is borne out of my reviewer’s curiosity which refuses to believe you are as good as your last show. “Angel Falls A Novel Holiday” is not Hallmark’s last show and even if it were, it is not the writers and ...

Just Mercy court scene

Just Mercy Is A Well-Made Emotive Piece Of Art

I have watched a handful of 2019 movies made from true-life stories. Two of them “Hustlers” and “Bombshell” did not resonate with me; while the former was largely dry, the latter was a disjointed mess of clips.  I felt that “Hustlers” and “Bombshell” may have faired better as documentaries. The Academy Awards guys do not ...

Army wives cast

Where Is The Cast Of Army Wives?

This is not about “Army Wives” the TV movie from 1987. Of course, we know that you know that and you know that we know that you know but telling you gave me a feeling of authority and it feels cool. “Army Wives” is a TV series on Lifetime Network about a group of Army ...

Oscar 2020 Nominations: Here’re Three Snubs That Hurt Us The Most

The Academy Awards announced the list of nominees yesterday and everyone is mad about it. I haven’t met one person who is entirely happy about the list although I am not entirely looking for. But going by the stuff on my timeline and offline, real-life, everyone is moaning. We do this every single year. The ...

The accountant 2

What is the Story of The Accountant? Will There Be The Accountant 2?

Some movies are difficult to understand. Impossible seems more like the word I need but let’s go with difficulty for now. Some movies are difficult to like. You watch you see one or two actors in it you love, you try to extend this love to the movie. You try for tens of minutes, you ...

The Two popes

The Two Popes: A Fine Film That Is Possibly A PR Job

The papacy is an intriguing subject for me. I am not a Catholic but I had always considered the Pope as the number one Christian on earth. When Pope John II the second visited my small town, I climbed fences, squeezed through barb wires and stinking armpits, scratched, kicked, and squeezed some more. All so ...

the aeronauts

The Aeronauts, A Promise Kept on Amazon Prime Video

History is full of outrage against innovation. In the sixteenth century, a scientist called Galileo posited that the earth was not the center of the universe but was just one of the thousands upon thousands of stars revolving around the static sun. Outrage, the church and the scientific bodies that be cried. They excommunicated him, ...

2020 Movie Releases: Dates, Genres, The Full Schedule

2019 just went out of the door, the smoke of its pyre is still in the air but we are already feeling the heat of 2020. 2019 was a good year for the industry. It was a year that Netflix consolidated its power by giving us great shows, the most outstanding been Martin Scorcese’s “The ...
